BREAKING GROUND FOR THE OHIO RIVER BRIDGES PROJECT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER HAS NO DOUBT CAUSED SOME TEMPORARY INCONVENIENCE FOR ALL OF US AT SOMETIME. BUT FOR ONE INDIANA RESIDENT, ALL THE CONSTRUCTION AND DUST UNCOVERED A LONG LOST TREASURE. WLKY'S TIM ELLIOTT HAS THE STORY. "Oh, it has a lot of importance." THIS SMALL CLASS RING, IS ANYTHING BUT SMALL IN THE HEART OF DANIELLE MEACE. HER AUNT.. WHO RAISED DANIELLE AS HER OWN.. WORKED HARD TO SURPRISE HER.. HER SENIOR YEAR.. WITH THE CLASS RING SHE SO DESPERATELY WANTED. THAT WAS 8 YEARS AGO. "She got it for a present and it was, it was a huge surprise. I was so happy, it definitely means a lot to me." BUT IT 2006, DANIELLE WENT TO THUNDER OVER LOUISVILLE WITH HER FAMILY, FRIENDS AND HER BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME, WHO WORE HER RING AS A NECKLACE. "He had it on a necklace around his neck and when we got home later that evening, I was like wait..where is the ring? And we realized we had to lose it at Thunder. And I said..well..I'm never going to see that again." FAST FORWARD TO LATE MAY 2014.. WHEN AN EXCAVATOR AT THE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION SITE IN JEFFERSONVILLE FOUND THE RING. HIS WIFE ENCOURAGED HIM TO PUT IT ON FACEBOOK.. AND A HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE OF DANIELLE SAW IT.. AND SENT HER A FRIEND REQUEST . "And then they popped up this message and it said, hey, I think we found your ring. Your class ring. And I said, wait..what! I went a little bolistic." THROUGH THAT MESSAGE, DANIELLE CONTACTED THE EXCAVATOR AND HIS WIFE.. AND MET THEM TO PICK UP HER RING. "I expected when I met them that I would get the ring back and it would be destroyed. But even they said, we thgouth ti was lost recently, it looks fine, it looks brand new." THE EXCAVATOR AND HIS WIFE DIDN'T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED.. SAYING THEY WEREN'T HEROES. THEY JUST DID WHAT ANYONE SHOULD DO. "It still blows my mind honestly, I can't even believe it. The chances of that happening are slim to none." TIM ELLIOT, WLKY NEWS.
